When attempting to do his/her homework, a student uses the addition property of equality to solve for a below. Which statement B

EST applies to the sample below? a + 3 = 9 a + 3 – 3 = 9 – 9 a = 0 A. The student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced. B. The student’s final answer does not have the variable a isolated. C. The use of the addition property of equality is sound, and the answer is correct. D.

The appropriate choice is ...

.... A. The student failed to keep both sides of the equation balanced

_____

The one rule I learned in my study of Algebra that makes it all make sense is "keep the equal sign sacred." That is, whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side of the equation. (Various teachers show various shortcuts that make it look like you're doing different things to the different sides of the equation. Don't be confused. If the operation can't be put in terms of doing the same thing to both sides, it doesn't work.)

Of course, you can always add 0 or multiply by 1 whenever and wherever you want.

_____

For the above equation, the appropriate solution is

... a + 3 = 9

... a + 3 - 3 = 9 - 3 . . . . . . addition property of equality

... a + 0 = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . .rules of arithmetic

... a = 6 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . additive identity property of 0

Given:

Alexis has a rectangular backyard that is 50 yards by 55 yards.

She wants to build a fence that stretches diagonally from one corner to the opposite corner.

To find:

The length of the fencing she needs.

Solution:

We have,

Length = 50 yards

Width = 55 yards

We know that, the diagonal of a rectangle is

Diagonal=\sqrt{length^2+width^2}

Diagonal=\sqrt{(50)^2+(55)^2}

Diagonal=\sqrt{2500+3025}

Diagonal=\sqrt{5525&#10;}

On further simplification, we get

Diagonal=74.3303437

Diagonal\approx 74.3

Therefore, the length of the required fencing is 74.3 yards.
